Also, it happened in another country, the man is in custody, and facing charges. What more do you want from us? A rending of garments?
Did the Dallas cop shootings or the kid getting kidnapped and tortured in Chicago fundamentally change your views of, say, BLM? If not, why?
Maybe it wouldn't change her mind, since they had nothing to do with BLM??
And what does some wacko in Quebec have to do with Trump?

I see he's a fan of Katy Perry as well. I hope that she, and the rest of her fans, do some soul-searching over this.
Again, what's your point? Micah Xavier Johnson, the shooter in Dallas, was a fan of several black power movements, was particularly upset over the coverage of the recent police shootings, and shot those officers at an actual BLM protest. Ismaaiyl Abdullah Brinsley shot two police officers in direct response to the deaths of Eric Garner and Michael Brown, as he wrote on his instagram.
I could post more. Should the BLM movement bear responsibility for these attacks? Is every political movement or politician inherently responsible for any and all acts of violence committed in its name or in service of the ideals it/they advance, even if the perpetrator has no real formal connection to any of them?
Once again, the guy is Canadian, has no formal involvement with any institution or party affiliated with Trump or any of his associates, was arrested, and is facing trial. If you'd like to post a thread called "What the right has devolved to" or what-have-you, where you'd like to post this or any other incidents you feel warrant attention, you are free to do so. I'll be happy to comment in it. What more do you want?
These were individuals who were mad at what the police did; individuals who went wacko and became deadly criminals. No good, evil and not justified; but the BLM movement is not responsible; they did not stir up their anger. The killings by police made them angry.
But Trump has stirred up and stoked hatred of Muslims. Some Muslims do bad things, like kill other Muslims, and occasionally Americans and maybe a few Canadians too. I don't know. But that does not make a billion people worthy of hatred and worthy of being killed, anymore than misconduct by some police justifies random murders of police.
